Whitehead's Cutlery Butte

Whitehead’s Cutlery and Candy Shop first started as Butte Grinding Works on North Wyoming Street in 1890 by Joseph Whitehead and has remained in the family to this day. Former owner Donna White says her father used to put her in a drawer in the back room of the business when she was little.

“We didn’t have any bassinets up here, so my dad had a drawer with blankets and everything and that was my sleeping spot,” said White.
